Blue Morpho butterfly tree .. Love the color !

Blue Morpho Butterfly (Morpho peleides) As its common name implies, they are colored in metallic, shimmering shades of blue and green, edged with black. The blue morpho is among the largest butterflies in the world, with wings spanning from five to eight inches. - this is amazing! I would love to be able to see this in real life.

Aurora borealis, Finland "They wonder why minority females just talk down on White males as if they ain't shit? Beauty lists." -Asha *what is my issue? I don't want to live here. I want to live in an isolated community in Africa where people resemble me. I am tired of being looked down upon and placed in public rejections. These men just watch me fail everytime. And perhaps this is entertaining for them, but I will not deal with Whites; especially when it comes to mating and sex.

Aurora borealis, Finland. Someday I will see the Northern lights. It's basically the only thing on my bucket list!

Aftermath of the Winter Storm - huges turned to ice and lots of other light houses in storm

Aftermath of the Winter Storm - St.Joseph Michigan lighthouse. I've seen the North Shore of Lake superior like this. Every branch and every pebble encased in Ice. There were surreal shapes in the hunched over trees.

I'm not good at thinking up captions but I thought I'd share this beautiful picture of God's creation....

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls." ~Mother Teresa

The play between sun and clouds, the dark and light, in nature or in life, makes magic manifest. #light #darkness #sun #rays #clouds #nature

Perth Weather Live shows a towering red dust storm over the ocean ahead of the cyclone approaching Onslow on the West Australian coast on January 9, 2013.

Red Wave An intense dust storm in Western Australia allegedly led to the creation of a "red wave" off the coast of Onslow Wednesday evening. The Bureau of Meteorology said the spectacle was caused by a combination of wind and rain that kicked up rust-colored sand and dust into the air and forced the cloud of debris out to sea. The pictures depict a weather phenomenon similar to the 'haboob', a massive cloud of dust kicked up by strong winds, that struck Phoenix in the summer of 2011.

JAN 09, 2013..PHOTOS: Freakish dust storm causes ‘RED WAVE’ on Australia’s west coast .. A cloud formation tinged with red dust travels across the Indian Ocean near Onslow on the Western Australia coast.

Mother Nature started working at sunset. A thunderstorm with gusts of up to 75 mph picked up sand and dust as it swept over Onslow and toward the Indian Ocean. The dust storm, called a haboob by meteorologists, raged for an hour. After that, the water was calm.

Jade Iceberg, Antarctica. When seawater at depths of more than 1,200 feet freezes to the underside of massive ice shelves, it forms ‘marine ice.’ Enormous hunks of ice break off from the ice shelf, creating icebergs. When one of these icebergs overturns, its jade underside is revealed. The wondrous color of this ‘marine ice’ results from organic matter dissolved in the seawater at those great depths. Green icebergs are infrequently seen because their verdant bellies are underwater

Green icebergs are infrequently seen because their verdant bellies are underwater; it’s only when they flip over, a rare event, that their richly colored regions can be seen before they melt.

Jade Striped Iceberg. I wish I knew more about this incredible photo. Gosh, I know so little about anything.

Lenticular cloud, Russia. Captured just at the right moment, when the sun is directly striking the bottom of the cloud and light is refracted through the top of the cloud. It gives an amazing two-tone effect.

Weird Clouds

This is a rare meteorological phenomenon called a skypunch. When people see these, they think it's the end of the world. Ice crystals form above the high-altitude cirro-cumulo-stratus clouds, then fall downward, punching a hole in the cloud cover. Freakishly weird!

Amazing striped icebergs Icebergs in Lake Michigan sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions. Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with melt water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.

Iceberg, Glacier Bay, Alaska excellent place to take that cruise. Beautiful sights.
